- General Note
- Until all the sample plot folders are scrutinised it will not be known whether all items have been included in this folder. There is a great deal of information and variety of views. There are at least 2 rimu and kahikatea plantings referred to (Glenbervie and Russell Forests). Reference is made to sending kauri seedlings to Dunedin (1981) where plantings have been made since 1962. A new series of trials with fertilisers was planned in 1983. Folders contain some excellent reports. It is not known how many establishment plots still exist, or their condition, as over 20 years since last reports and measurements. Sample plots quoted include Auckland 906 (8 forests), 823 (Sweetwater nursery practice), 663 (kauri regeneration), 825 (direct seeding of kauri), A597/2 (rimu planting, Glenbervie), 228 (Raetea Forest), 451 (kahikatea planting, Russell), 424 (Gt Barrier), 669 (Puketi) and many more.
